Poll: How intelligent do you consider yourself

[BlueOnBlue]

Hey escapist community, I've been wondering how intelligent do you all consider yourself to be, and please, be honest. Additionally, if you so please, post why you consider yourself to be of that level of intelligence.

I personally believe I'm somewhere inbetween the ehh kinda intelligent and fucking holy shit intelligent. The reason why I believe this is because throughout my time in school I scored many 100%s on the standarized tests we took yearly, read at the level of a high school graduate when I was about 11, and tested at an iq of 134.

Thanks for sharing everyone!

pretty average, excelling if few things and less than acceptable in most, just average

 

[Dr Jones]

Eh kinda intelligent (for my age). "Kinda intelligent", isn't that sorta like above average?

 

[Da Orky Man]

Slightly above average. I'm not confident enough to say that I'm ultra intelligent, but I do tend to be able to work things out faster than most.

 

[w9496]

I'm trivial smart, and historically, but i'm horrible at math.

That's why I voted for Kinda.

Let me quote my pal, the good ole Sokrates for a moment: "ἓν οἶδα ὅτι οὐδὲν οἶδα hèn oîda hóti oudèn oîda"
What, ancient Greek doesn't show up at your computer and you don't know that language okay so maybe Latin then: "scio me nihil scire or scio me nescire"
No Latin either, well let's have it in English then:

"I know one thing, that I know nothing"

Well, when I was eleven, I was shown to have the reading age expected from an "ideal" fifteen year old. I've always been somewhat of an intellectual type, and I became psychologically mature faster than other people. I'm not exactly a genius though. Anyone who saw me hit myself in the eye with the cord of my hooded jacket can attest to that. Then there was the time I was sent on a mile and a half orienteering walk with a crudely drawn map, took a wrong turn and did twelve miles, in about three and a half hours. Not bad for speed, but not the smartest thing I ever did. Yeah, hit and miss...

Say it's a scale of 1-10 the very last option (duller than staring at a wall for 10 hours) would pretty much be 0 (somehow). The first option would be 1, second option about 2.5, third option 4, 4th option 5, 5th option 6, 6th option 7.5, and 7th option 10. the reason why the intervals get smaller closer to average is too account for the fact that there *should* be a larger amount of people in that area between 4-6 than others so I wanted a more detailed representation.

If it wasn't for my language skills, I'd be on the low end of average. However, they apparently drag me to just above it.

 

[Yureina]

People call me a genius. As for what I think... well I don't really know. It's not something I really like to think about too much because I start feeling pretentious. >_<

 

[Brandon237]

Considerably above average, not sure if I qualify for your last, rather... expressive option I know most other people who know me well would say I do, but I think I am a little below that.

I get 100s quite often, and excel at all but languages. My English mark is still good (78-82%), but my second language I couldn't give a shit about.
Maths, IT, Geography and Science I crack mid 80s to mid 90s...

I used to play chess at a competitive level and won just over half my games in the B-Section, that I gave up out of boredom though...

The less you know that you know, the more you know.

You know?

 

[doggie135]

I refuse to answer with anything other than "other".
The reason is because it's not intelligent to
A - Answer a poll on intelligence, when the answerer is subjective
B - Answer a poll when the options use terms such as "fucking holy shit intelligent" and "ehh kinda stupid".

Sorry

Slightly above average... I'm not a genius or anything...

[smearyllama]

I fluctuate wildly between "pretty dang smart" (on a really good day) to "dumb as a post" (about 1/4 of the time).

 

[StrixMaxima]

Intelligent enough to not care about it.

 

[chstens]

"Eeeh, kinda intelligent", because it's the only response around average+ that doesn't sound arrogant. Also, there's more leniency in that statement. Also, it's the only option that conveys a "it doesn't really matter" message.
